Mikkelsen said he'd be better today but even Suninen and Lappi have left him behind.

It's going to come to the point where if Mikkelsen can only do well with Hyundai on certain rallies, they'll only offer him a partial campaign for next year or nothing at all. I said his manager should do everything he can do get him to Msport regardless of whether Hyundai offer him an extension, because he can't compete with Neuville anyway and it's now rightly Neuville's team in the same way VW was Ogier's. Mikkelsen and Hyundai both had eyes on him fighting with Thierry for championships titles when he first got the contract, he was never meant to be just a points collector and backup...

You can make as much stupid analysis as you want, but you know nothing about the team orders Mikkelsen is under.

Really looking forward to Ogier vs Loeb tomorrow. Re-check Ogier's face and body language at the end of this stage.

Mmm...What orders you think he has then, jparker? I would say, they are to help Neuville and Hyundai as a manufacturer. Due to Neuville`s crash, he is doing atleats one bit...

This was the second time Jari lost hydrualics?

Yeah, I am pretty sure Hyundai ordered Mikkelsen to be slowest out of WRC cars. Nothing can help the brand as that kind of show...

Afaik last time Latvala lost hydraulics was when he peed next to the car in Germany.

Anyway we still dunno what happened.

Penty of battles on for tomorrow - all except Tanak & Evans should be involved.

in South America if you don't go to plastic (or eysight) surgery you are either poor or weird.

Anyway manus will love this, her and her husband doing the rally having 2 mil followers etc. Exactly what they push for, popularity outside of Europe.

Update regarding Latvala's retirement: he hit a rock in a ditch with the front-left and damaged a driveshaft. No hydraulics issue. #YarisWRC #WRC #RallyChile #TGR_WRC

He has chances to get Manu points, right?

You're being a total idiot. Not sure whether you can help it or not, but i hope for your sake you're just on the wind up...

What about yesterday then...or the first one today....and the one, where Neuville went out...

My mind boggles...

I was about to say someone of these 2 will make a mistake, and not going to be Loeb. But preferred NOT to say it.

Loeb at his best did very few mistakes (I'd argue even less than Ogier), Which is why Corsica with 2 in one rally was so weird.

Your intellectual properties seams to be on the low side. Hope you can bare with it.

SS7 onboards with Meeke roll, Latvala and Evans catchup and Mikkelsen ditch are on wrc+ now.

EDIT: Meeke has some kind of moment just 10s before rolling (at 1:10 in), then just slides out under power uphill. Probalby was distracted by the first moment.

M-sport with their steady show seems to gain more than Hyundai.

Massive is your definition. Mine is progress from last one.

LOT of Finish swearing by Latvala on SS7, at one point he also got showered with quite large stones by Meeke. Keeps talking for some time after passing him as well.

Also got shown red flag (like in Argentina) at the place where Meeke originally rolled, but ignored it.

Loeb is being massive for Hyundai here - it would've been a disaster for them if he hadnt produced the goods . And there could be even more to come after tomorrow.

He's doing exactly what a top wing-man for Neuville should and what the others have so often failed to do.
